The path from training to a running clinic.
Patients already want this. Your pharmacy is already placed to give it to them.
Fast, convenient access to blood tests is in growing demand for both medical and personal health reasons, and community pharmacy sits closer to patients than almost anyone.
01
Strong revenue potential
High demand for private blood testing translates into meaningful revenue for your pharmacy, with consumable costs of only around £5 per patient.
02
Repeat visits, ongoing care
One test often leads to consultations, treatment and follow-up, positioning your pharmacy as a clinical hub patients return to.
03
Relief for local GP capacity
Some pharmacies are already being commissioned by GP surgeries to deliver blood tests. Adding private services is a further, stable income stream.
